-- The Wait -- My family stopped there for a quick bite since it was on our way to going to the movie theater. Terrible idea! They were rushed with orders since it appears most of their clients call in their orders. We understand so we ordered and sat to wait, but waiting 45 minutes to get our food is a bit too much. -- The locale -- While we waited I used the restroom and I noticed it wasnt very clean. I came out with my hands all wet because there was no drier or paper towels on the restroom. I had to ask the cashier to get me some. She got me some from the kitchen. They have very few seats but since I gather they get most of their business from take out I can understand, but the place is not very clean. -- The Food -- I ordered one of their "house specialties" ($11 plate), a steak plate cooked on brown sauce. What I got was what seemed to be four long pieces of beef jerky on sticks over vegetables stir fried on their brown sauce and a side of white rice. The rice was ok but thats hard to mess up. The beef was dry, bland and came in long 4 inch strips that required getting all primal using your canine teeth to rip the meat from the stick. My wife ordered pepper steak with onions and ironically hers came under cooked. We couldnt finish eating, we threw away most of our food. -- The Service -- As I mentioned before they were very rushed. The people waiting in line for their food were getting impatient and one of the ladies on the kitchen kept saying "your food is ready" to anybody that asked. Only that they all had to wait at least 10 more minutes. They only offer you a plastic fork with your food but this was the flimsiest of them all. Maybe is because my meat was very dry but the fork would bend all ways refusing to grab any meat. I asked for a plastic knife to try to cut my beef jerky to a more manageable size and the cashier told me they had none, that I could get some from the business next door. I dont understand how this place was so busy. Maybe they were having a bad day, maybe thats the only Chinese restaurant in the area but truth be told Im never ever eating there again.

They are a common take-out style Chinese restaurant but their food is the best around. I have tried many of the Chinese restaurants in the area and this one is the one I keep going back to. The prices are good and the food is great. It can be entertaining to see what their kids are up to since they do their homework and other activities right there in the dining area. :-) Its not a place where you would generally choose to stay and eat. Its where you go for great food!

The woman that handles the orders look like shes gonna kill someone any day. Does she ever smiles? Thats a mystery. The food is nothing to rave about. The white rice is too sticky compared to other chinese restaurants. The generals chicken got too much batter and not enough chicken and the dish wasnt mix thoroughly ending up with bland tasting broccoli. The chicken wings were disgusting - how old is the oil?

This is NOT a dining restaurant it is for take out or maybe quick lunch. But if you cant have MSG then this is the place for you. To be honest I could careless if they all had nasty facial expressions Im not eating their faces. The portions are HUGE and I dont swell up after eating because there is NO MSG. I have not had a problem with anyone there she always smiles at me. Food is great we go once a week.

Very good quality food, just a notch down from Chopsticks up the road. Lots of fresh quality ingredients, and the take-away dishes are huge. Four big dishes for $35, and that is enough for 8 or more meals, quite the bargain. Dining in decor is horrible strip mall, but the cute kids of the owners add back some atmosphere.
